Nina Jankowicz, Global Fellow; Former Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellow, The Wilson Center, addresses the City Club for the Annual Meeting program.
More than 150 years ago, Alexis de Tocqueville noted that it is easier for the public to accept a simple lie rather than a complex truth. With the advent of digital and social media and today’s diverse, highly polarized society, it feels as though this adage is being used to quickly dismantle American democracy.
In her book, How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict, Nina Jankowicz takes us on a journey through five Western governments’ responses to Russian information warfare tactics – all of which have failed. While America has finally begun to wake up to the threat of online warfare, Ms. Jankowicz, a Global Fellow at The Wilson Center, has spent years in Central and Eastern Europe advising governments on the front lines of the information war.
Join us, in-person at the City Club for our 2021 Annual Meeting, where Nina Jankowicz will discuss what is at stake in this moment: the future of civil discourse and democracy, and the value of truth itself.
The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30p.m. Have questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330.541.5794.

Our new address is 1317 Euclid Ave., Suite 100. We are located on the north side of Euclid Ave., between E. 13th and E 14th Streets, which means the RTA’s free E-Line and C-line trolleys, and the Healthline all stop in front of our building.
If you are driving, park in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage, located at 1450 Chester Ave. You can view a map of the garage here.

After parking in the garage, you can walk to the City Club’s entrance on Euclid Ave. via the covered walkway.
